People talking about deflategate are pure idiots

So what?  Did the talking heads on ESPN bother to tell you that none of the Washington Redskins running backs fumbled the entire season either?  Here's the link to the stat: https://espn.go.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/wsh/washington-redskins

Dang people, you must remember that the E in ESPN stands for Entertainment, not Education

Wrong.  Watch the ESPN Sports Science report.  And try not to confuse a good story with the facts

The league will punish the Patriots, if they are determined to be guilty in the NFL kangaroo court.  After all, what they did (are accused of doing) is against the rules.  But I hardly think that what the Patriots are accused of doing will change the outcome of the SB.

This is entertainment aimed at its lowest common denominator.  And you, sir, certainly qualify as the lowest common denominator 

Madden has also written several books and has served as a commercial pitchman for various products and retailers.

I appreciate the crowning of "Lord of the Idiots" but I definitely do not deserve such prestige.  Idiot of course means intelligent people in my mind when a person named "bunny" on an NFL gambling forum after an AFC Title Championship match for the Superbowl in 2 weeks claims that "talking about changing the integrity of the thing that is the name of the game they are playing are idiots and dummies".   

Here is what John Madden said for the intelligent people that understand football and what it means to change the integrity of the ball.

"" But Madden says the logical person behind any changes in the football would be Brady.
"That would have to be driven by the quarterback," Madden told The Sports Xchange on Wednesday. "That's something that wouldn't be driven by a coach or just the equipment guy. Nobody, not even the head coach, would do anything to the football unilaterally, such as adjust the amount of pressure in a ball, without the quarterback knowing. It would have to be the quarterback's idea.""

 Madden, who serves as a consultant to commissioner Roger Goodell and is on a couple of subcommittees that oversee various elements of the game, believes Belichick, who said this week that he knew nothing about it.

"Yeah, I believe him," Madden said. "I can see -- and you hate to make examples of what you can see because that sounds like you are accusing someone -- but I can see that being between the quarterback and the equipment guy.

"He is the guy affected, he is the only guy," Madden said, referring to the quarterback. "I heard some of the pundits saying the ball is easier to catch, but that would never, ever, ever be done for that unless the quarterback wanted it. You wouldn't do something for a receiver to catch the ball if the quarterback couldn't throw it. So it's going to be done for the quarterback."

" There is no question that a player's ability to grip the ball is impacted by how much it is inflated, but Madden is perplexed by comments from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who claims to like the football inflated to the max, and maybe then some.
"Never heard that one," Madden said. "You learn when you are a kid that is it harder to handle a football or basketball, to grip them, when they are inflated too much and conversely it is easier to grip when they are underinflated.""

 Madden said it might be an easy task for somebody to use an inflating needle to take some air out of a football on the sideline, but wonders why take the chance because the officials should notice it.
"On every play, the ball is handled by two officials," he said. "It comes in from a ball boy to a wing official and into the spotting official, who is usually the umpire. So it's not like the officials don't touch those footballs because they do. I am surprised that if there were that many that they didn't know that."

I think the bunny loses the race again (wrong way bunny!)
